FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES OF DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURES MANAGED WITH 2.7MM VARIABLE ANGLE VOLAR LOCKING COMPRESSION PLATES

Objective: About 15 to 17 % of all fractures presenting emergency department constitutes the distal radius fracture. Intra-articular fracture remains one most challenging be reduced over decades for orthopedic surgeons. Objective is demonstrate functional outcomes 2.7mm variable angle volar locking compression plate using Mayo’s wrist score in fracture.
 Methodology: A Quasi experimental study was conducted Department Orthopedics & Trauma, CMH Rawalpindi from 20th October 2020 19th April 2021. total 120 patients with AO Classification A1 C2 C3, 19 69 years age both genders were included. Outcome Variable Volar Locking Compression Plates calculated. Data entered SPSS version 25. Descriptive analysis done age. Gender and mayo scoring criteria presented as frequencies percentages. To analyze association outcome gender chi-square test applied.
 Results: Mean 40.34 ± 8.01 years. Majority 71 (59.17%) between 40 Out patients, 82 (68.33%) males 38 (31.67%). 51 (42.50%) had excellent outcome, 47 (29.17%) good 13 (10.83%) fair 09 (7.50%) poor outcome.
